Merriment day #4 HO HO HO

I so blame Tammy over a A Primitive Place for this one! For the last couple of years, I have seen and longing for her vintage Santa collection! Go peek, she has a wonderful collection!!!! Every time I stumble on them, they want a FORTUNE for them.... Until this summer, a estate sale was showing this collection for sale and by the time I got there... They were all still there... I got all of them for about $25 buck! Still needs some playing around with in my old prim cradle.... Hiding in the back all things Joey plays with when she visits "Auntie Re's house" It's always tea party time....
Throat a wee bit better today...Boy that was ugly yesterday. For everyone who said they have this crud too, hope everyone is feeling better! Need to do a little Christmas shopping today... Need to start. OLM

Ha!! And I'm going to blame you BOTH if (when?) I start in on these guys....They used to creep me out....but the two of you's displays has me thinking, that's a good thing! ;o) Smiles & Ho Ho Hugs ~ Robin

Taking it all in....thinking next year's swap....lots of collections I can add to...although no elves would make it into the box because Tim would scarf them up & hide them for himself. You have lots of lovelies. Still thinking how I can get that blue table from you. Going on vacation anytime soon?? LOL

SO CUTE!! I love the little kitchen set behind them too and the cradle. I think my Gram had a kitchen set like that that I would play with. Ahhh memories. You got a great deal on the Santa's!Have a great weekend Marie, Be blessed, Cindi
